Chuck replied to the topic My Dr Kang Hernia Surgery in the forum Hernia Discussion 5 days, 3 hours ago
Thx so much for the update. Please keep them coming. Watchful want to make if this report? Sounds like this guy had the same type of hernia ad you and kang handles it with a 3.5 cm incision? I think dr kang takes the lead again as the go to surgeon.

Herniated. Thanks for weighing in. I think you go to far here but respect your knowledge. Dr kang has been the kindest of any surgeon I have interacted with. He clearly seems motivated to do the best repair possible. That said I am curious about who you would go to if you needed a tissue repair. Over mesh removal skin. Few docs will do that…[Read more]

Watchful. Yes without a doubt. He is known as the unicorn on the robot. Very humble guy. But what I like is what other surgeons say. They all universally say he is the best there is. Andy Elliott. Yes it will take a visit. Then several months. He will want a CT. If you come you can stay with me. I will pick you up from the airport as needed.…[Read more]

Thx watchful. And if you send me your pay pal I can send you the reward on kang. I so wish I had seen your many posts before making my disastrous decision. It all makes so much sense. So can I ask you one more thing. Given all you know is it your opinion that Dr Conze is the best bet for a future tissue repair all things considered? His website…[Read more]

Watchful. You really are a genius. Could anytime have been more thorough? How is it that I know at least 20 guys meshed up with no issues. Mostly open mesh too. You and I studied this like crazy and still blew it. Very frustrating. I guess it’s just Korea is not accessible for information. Is it your view that Dr Conze is the best surgeon in t…[Read more]

So I sympathize with herniated. It’s near impossible to know how to fix our hernias. Exhibit A is watchful – super smart guy spent years researching interviewed many doctors and still made a mistake. I made a mistake that still threatens to end my life. I had no idea that hernia surgery was so dangerous. All we have is this excellent forum a…[Read more]

It’s so hard to trust any of these surgeons. Particularly the US surgeons who wildly embellish their statistics. But I challenge anyone to find me a negative kang review. If you can I will pay pal you 100 bucks.

Thanks so much William. I wish there were more posters like you and watchful. This board is pretty dead but it should be hopping. I recall was looking for a comparison between conze and kang. I have not seen conze mentioned much here. Koch and wiese more so. I guess kang is still in the lead. I don’t thing towfigh will interview him b…[Read more]

Folks…first thanks so much for all the input here..especially thanks to Watchful…for his in depth research and analyis…As i recover from my removal surgery and prepare for further repair surgery I am determined not to make any more mistakes. As our friend William Bryant is fond of saying—this area is a complete minefield….I made the…[Read more]

Chuck started the topic Direct hernia bulge or no bulge -nick s -watchful -Dr Kangs note in the forum Hernia Discussion 1 week, 1 day ago
So before my disastrous hernia surgery i had a slight ache on the right side inguninal–no bulge.. Dr Cravajal put his finger on me for a second and said you have a hernia on the right. I had an ultra sound previously that said there was a hernia on the right…other surgeons said ultrasound could not be trusted. Carvajal double meshed me…and…[Read more]

Wachful…you went to one of the best surgeons there i trust…and still got a bad result….i bet they brought out their best for rand paul…the shouldice procedure just seems so destructive…it seems like a real set up for chronic pain. The wierd thing is lichtenstein open is supposed to be the biggest risk for pain…but i havent met a soul…[Read more]

in my view….i found tons of this kind of stuff regarding shouldice…6 inch incisions…sloppy doctors…long recovery times…blogs that ran 3 years with continuing issues. Now i read reports of poor anesthesia outcomes…and they were making you get the death vax back then. I just dont get why this place is still the choice for so many,,,i…[Read more]

I am interested in any feedback on this as well…I thought muschawek was out of the repair business…And i continue to look for the best tissue surgeon in the world.

Watchful thx per the usual. Yes my experience with yunis was the same. He definitely did not brag or exaggerate his experience. You advised that you would not go to shouldice again. You really did a perfect analysis of your options. For me the cremaster cutting and steel wire stuff scared me off shouldice. Plus at the time they were enforcing…[Read more]

Dr. Kang…many thanks for your quick and thorough responses…you convey more information in your alleged “not good enough” english than most fluent english speaking doctors. God bless you for treating us like human beings/

Chuck started the topic Getting a lot of negative reports re Yunis lately in the forum Hernia Discussion 2 weeks ago
Folks..about 5 people have reached out to me over the last several weeks to tell me they received very poor treatment from Dr. Yunis. To be fair…my experience was good…and Peter C reports the same. These folks were people with difficult removal issues so take that into consideration…but the reports struck me as heartless…refusing to take…[Read more]

Chuck replied to the topic Question for Dr Kang in the forum Hernia Discussion 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Thx dr kang for your always prompt responses. Others are posting here that you cut the genitofemoral nerve as part of the Kang repair. Do you cut any nerves as part of your repair? Will the fact that I had double mesh removal impact the strength of your repair at all? Will you ever offer paid consultations via zoom? The German surgeons are…[Read more]

Dr Kang. First thanks so much for all your input here. It’s clear your clinic is becoming the pre-eminent hernia surgery center in the world and it’s happening by word of mouth. I have referred three people to you just this week and will continue to do so. Given the recent posts here it seems like the shouldice clinic is struggling to even get…[Read more]
